Srinagar, October 3

A civilian, who was shot at by militants in Batamaloo area of the city on Saturday, has succumbed to his injuries, officials said on Sunday.

Militants fired at Mohammad Shafi Dar, a resident of Batamaloo, at about 8 pm at SD Colony on Saturday. Dar (45) received critical gunshot injuries and was immediately shifted to the SMHS hospital for treatment. However, he succumbed to injuries at the hospital during the night, officials said.

Dar was the second person killed by militants in the city on Saturday. A few hours before that incident, militants had fired at one Majid Ahmad Gojri, a resident of Chattabal, Srinagar, at Karan Nagar. Gojri succumbed moments later. In the third attack on the same day, militants had thrown a grenade at a Central Reserve Police Force bunker but it missed the target. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
